So much to learn!<br /><br />I saw the Student Nurse page first, then followed the link to the page that had the three photos. Thank you again for your research! These posts have really made my day!ghoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209853284033316302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-56529192635856424202011-11-16T14:08:41.934-05:002011-11-16T14:08:41.934-05:00Paul, I think it was an organization with Greek le...Paul, I think it was an organization with Greek letters. I may have the information somewhere. I'll see if Mom had other information about the sorority. <br /><br />I wrote another post about my mom's days in nurse's training. While it's not particular to your mom, your mom's experience would have been somewhat similar and your mom is mentioned as a student. You can see it at http://nancysfamilyhistoryblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/student-nurse-registered-nurse.html. It includes copies of the commencement program and her diploma.<br /><br />Also, from the information my mom saved they graduated from the training program at Warren City Hospital, not TMH. There must have been a transition soon after their graduation, though. There were previous graduating classes from Warren City Hospital. My mom saved some of the class info and/or commencement programs. <br /><br />Gosh, I haven't been to Trumbull for years, at least since before 1987. It would be fun to have a copy of the class photo. There were only 12 in the class, according to my mom's program.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-64497352412755139462011-11-16T13:48:02.078-05:002011-11-16T13:48:02.078-05:00Nancy,

I seem to remember that their nursing class was the first graduating class in the program. I haven't been to Trumbull Memorial Hospital in about 6 years, but the graduating class photo was still hanging in one of the hallways at that time!ghoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209853284033316302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-4966763386045066202011-11-16T12:50:47.541-05:002011-11-16T12:50:47.541-05:00Hi, ghog.

She and my mom remained friends after nursing school and were members of a nursing sorority that met monthly for many years. I think your mom had a baby when she was in her late 40s or early 50s. (Now who knows why that would be such a memorable thing to a kid!) Anyway, I'm glad you found photos of your mom on her birthday. Thanks for coming to visit.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-14514389036975999242011-11-16T03:44:46.781-05:002011-11-16T03:44:46.781-05:00This is surreal.

My mother is Gertrude Cunningham - one of your mom's classmates in nursing school! She is top row, far right in the upper left photo, 1st left in the upper right photo and 3rd from left in the photo with the police car. I have never seen these photos and I cannot tell you how I feel being able to see them now! Thank you for posting them! My mom passed away in 1979. She was fortunate to have worked as a nurse her whole life. If I ever find any pictures of your mom in our archives, I promise I will share them with you!ghoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209853284033316302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-23277733900653859152010-12-13T20:22:20.627-05:002010-12-13T20:22:20.627-05:00They still are wonderful photos and it is so great...They still are wonderful photos and it is so great to make connections with others that can help discover the history and stories.L.

I did not have time to post this week but am reading and enjoying others Sepias. I love photos where the people are laughing and to get a contact like that from your blog and then photos and the story is, well, in the words of the commercial, "priceless." Yes those uniforms look so much more spiffy than scrubs of today, reflecting how informal everything is everywhere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093078029028920810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-18289194882881909302010-12-11T18:12:25.037-05:002010-12-11T18:12:25.037-05:00You must have been so surprised when you got conta...You must have been so surprised when you got contacted by the daughter of your mother's friend, and to get photos as well.

My post this week features my mother at the age of 8 and her brother holding what I think is a hand scythe. These days parents hardly know what that is, let alone let their 10 year old child hold one, lol. And so great that you connected with your mother's friend's children.

One of the greatest delights of posting Sepia Saturday posts is that friends and family will send or bring you their old photos, even this week relatives came to stay and brought a little packet of old photographs. The informality of yours just emphasise the similarities of the generations - move forward 60 years or so and these could have been on Facebook.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-26623775101245392242010-12-11T01:11:55.787-05:002010-12-11T01:11:55.787-05:00What a fun story!
